I barely deal with zip ties, even as useful as they are, but I know they hurt me a lot more than chainsaws, which I probably use more than zip ties. I'm more afraid of zip ties than chainsaws.

I'm a diesel mechanic. I have the earthquake ratchet. It happens to be my favorite tool, I use it all day everyday any chance I get. The first one I had crapped out on me after two months of daily hard use. I brought just the tool back, and they gave me a whole brand new tool in box with battery and charger right off the shelf no questions asked. The only problems you will have with this ratchet are the power switch handle will bend outward quite a bit, and once in a while the ratcheting mechanism will start to slip not giving you full power. But I found that if you clean it with brake cleaner and spray a little bit of air tool Lube unto the ratcheting mechanism it runs like new again. Mind you, I literally beat the living crap out of this thing.
I love mine and haven’t broken it yet. I’m a bovine babysitter that breaks a lot of tractor implements and works on every family member’s anything. First thing I did though, was take it apart and lubed everything with Moly. I too struggled with breaking that aluminum thread loose. I stopped while I was ahead and decided that I should at least use it before I break it.
@@gabrielgalaxygh yea, but i have gone through 2 first gen and 2 second gen 3/8" drive milwuakee ratchets and i now have a 1/4" snap on. the cost for tool only replacement when they fail is the exact same. and the snap on has not failed me after a year of daily use even though it is smaller and should be weaker. the milwuake ones never lasted me a couple months.
@@fulloppositelock6778 From a friend that managed an autoparts store -- they give you lifetime warranties on stuff they know is going to break because every time someone comes in the store they buy more random crap. It's a guaranteed return customer.
I'd buy second hand tools from AvE any day. Not only would you know he is being completely honest about how much he has personally abused it, you could also watch the video where he pulled it a-part to see if it was a piece of crap to begin with.
professional Auto tech here. I have used all of those ratchets and even though the little milwaukee is not the most durable of the bunch, it is the one that makes me the most money. It fits everywhere, its like 89bucks or something like that, tool only. If used to run nuts and bolts on and off you wont have issues. If you use it to break them free as if it was a breaker bar, you may break it... I hope Milwaukee never stops making it. I prefer it so much that i would buy a new one every few months if i had to. It saves me so much time. I own 2 of them and they both work great.

As a tool on the tools, knee deep in god knows what, I can say without fear of contradiction that torque absolutely matters to me. Tight spots only get tighter with each new vehicle, and when I can jam my electric or air ratchets into a tight spot and break a bolt loose, I'm ahead.
Jake Pulver completely agree! I have the regular @35 and brushless @55 Milwaukee, definitely nice that the 55 can break most bolts loose on its own so long as I can squeeze it in somewhere. The 35 is nice when you need a much smaller head but have room to swing
@@arduinoversusevil2025 it's not Halloween, it's not Christmas.... But it is Friday... And here in the good ol You Kay, we celebrate Fridays like their our last.
I highly recommend the HF ratchet. It's very robust, plenty of torque and fits in most places. The length is nice for tighter bolts. I bought a second battery for continued usage, but one battery will last fairly long. I use it everyday and does seem to last the test of time.
I love my earthquake ratchet. It is reasonably priced and reasonably skookum. The batteries seem to last pretty long so far. I've had it for about a year and it still works great. I can't say that about a lot of harbor freight electric tools.
reasonably skookum? wth. Skookum or the not so recent addition skookum as frig in Pacific Northwest. Rings my ears like reasonably smart which is a PC way to say fn idiot.
The only real downside seems to be the battery charger not delivering enough juice. Maybe the 90 day warranty, if you care about that kind of thing. Otherwise, it would be my hands down choice - if I didn't have a garage full of red batteries already(not that I'm saying I wouldn't take that path again; I need a lot of the typical 'lineup' tools and tend to buy based on the battery since that's usually the first death, and Milwaukee seems to get universal praise in that regard) Edit - actually, make that "comparable juice" rather than "not enough"
I was absolutely amazed at how much use I got out of mine before it needed the 2nd charge. It continues to impress me! Worth every penny of the $60 it cost me.
The Earthquake is a re-badged A.C. Delco. I bought one the first day is became available and I actually like it. It was $100 at introduction and back then you could use the 20% off coupon on Earthquake, so I paid $80 for mine. I used it just today when changing my mower blades. Original battery still works fine. If I was into the M12 platform I would buy the Milwaukee, but the H.F. is not a bad tool.
Regarding the ratchet CCW/CC switch on the Milwaukee - the fact that it is recessed combined with the lower profile head makes it easier to fit in tight spaces. That's really useful for wrenching on cars
Ave's gotta be the only person in the world to get a brand new tool, and then proseedes to fix it till it's broken. Totally reminds me of my grandpa. No matter what he bought, there was always a foreigner who put it together wrong.

The huge advantage of buying Harbor Freight WITH the extended warrantee (besides the price) is because you can walk into any store hand in your damaged tool and get a new one without any questions asked.

The non fuel Milwaukee is perfect for me! I have tons of bigger rachets and breaker bars for loosening and tightening but this guy Is a time saver and fits were regular ratchet fits
Have used all of these cordless ratchets. I use a cordless ratchet at least four days a week through out the my day. I bought the EQ XT as a lark, fully expecting to return it when it failed to chooch. However, having my son borrow my Milwaukee without noticing, I found myself onsite with only the EQ XT which I did charge, but had just been carrying it around. I was a little annoyed at the thought of turning a wrench all day again.....but that's how we started, so I soldiered on. My exact words were "HOLY SH*t!!!" I was impressed with the damn thing more than the MigMax 220 and Protig Vulcan's which also surprised me. I LOVE this damn thing and I wanted to comment on the statement that the user places all the torque through leverage into the wrenching action, the EQ XT doesn't twist (minimal moment of force is fed back to the user). Instead it strikes like a small impact with a decent anvil. No idea how they get that amount of repetitive impact mechanically (unable to disassemble to see how) but I swear that if you could create an ideal experiment where moment arm is identical, acknowledging you get a mechanical advantage with all three, but I would guarantee the moment of force, and over all energy input into the action, is noticeably less using the EQ XT. I use this thing everyday now. Downside, yeah I get annoyed when I set it down on the trigger and it is the singular tool I have that uses its own battery. If it hadn't genuinely impressed me it was going back to the store because I have 22 Hitachi 18V 3Ah batteries and since Metabo/HPT have decided to reduced the variety of tools available in my market, I have been slowly moving to Makita tools and have about 10 batteries. Yes I HATE having a battery for just this one tool, but after using it, contrary to my own expectation, I decided it was worth the hassle.
If you intend to use a pipe wrench torque multiplier on your drain pan bolts, definitely go with the Earthquake. I'm amazed that aluminum body didn't crumble doing that. The other ratchets would have disintegrated.
I bought one of those earthquake ratchets to give it a try and I use it every day and I have had it for over a year and it works just fine. The only complaint is like you said about the plastic body is starting to flex at the battery if you pull on it low near the battery.
I've been using the Earthquake XT ratchet at work everyday for about a year and I am extremely happy with it. I've got 2 batteries so charge time doesn't matter. 1 battery usually lasts all day no problem.
6:10 Actually havin it be a tight fit to change the direction of the ratchet is helpful, when you’re in tight spots, it keeps ya from accidentally changing direction of the ratchet by hitting it on something
Been running a 1/4 inch snap on ratchet for over 3 years now. Havent had a single issue with it. Never sent it in. Works like it did since day 1. I use mine every day. Even had the thing drenched in water from snow covered cars and the thing still works great. I have heard of people breaking the male end you click your socket onto in the 3/8's drive. but the 1/4 inch gets the job done and was worth every penny.
I have been using the small milfuckie for 2 years in a shop, i love it. I have the fuel one also it comes out 10% of the time. The snapon is just a joke when it comes to price here in australia. 5 times the price of the milfuckie
I love/hate my snap on one. It’s a bloody ripper but after using the tool for 1.5 years I’ve had it rebuilt 3 times, yeah sure I use it every day working on trucks and it sees a lot of hard work. I kinda need reliable tools and after paying like $650ish for it I thought snapon would of covered more then 1yr warranty so I’m looking at the Milwaukee one now. It’s just a shame because when it’s not broken it’s a really good tool. Working on cars or lighter duty stuff this tool would be the pinnacle of every job. Plus don’t forget to grease it every morning.
I have the 1/4" and 3/8" in the first gen snap-on. I've had them for several years, bought them when they first came out. I've never had any trouble with them, and I use them daily. I know the Milwaukee and harbor freight guys are going to say I got ripped off, I over paid, and the other tools are better etc, but you get a lot more than just the tool with snap-on, you get real customer service. I think that's worth the extra expense.
Always solid honest well researched advice based on fact and expertise. Never trust HF customer reviews they only post customer reviews they want to post, I know this from experience.
I used to work with a millwright. He was an old timer and had a good saying to people that were caught in the brand war arguments regarding tools; "It's not the tool that gets the job done it's the mechanic." That old guy could probably fix a broken rocker arm in an engine with a butter knife.
I work at a Chevrolet dealership. One of the guys has had 4 harbor freight ratchets in 2 years. The Milwaukee 3/8" fuel I have had for about 6 months and I love it. That said it is hard to get into tight spots but it has a longer run time than the Earthquake and it charges faster. I liked the Milwaukee enough that I also bought the 1/4" fuel and I don't regret it. As far as the Snap On goes, I will never know because I refuse to pay $450+ for a ratchet, 1 battery and a charger.
I have the Earthquake ratchet and did a video review on it. Max tightening torque was 30 lb.ft in my research. It has worked well for me so far and the battery does last a pretty decent time before recharging.
I wish he’d tear apart the AC Delco ratchet to see if there is any difference at all. I have an old AC Delco 1/2” impact that has been beat on for years and still works as well as it did on day one. It keeps up fairly well with my IR 231 Pneumatics. Now I wonder if the Earthquake Impact might be a copy of my old impact...

I bought one and use it daily at work. Im a main tech at a cadillac, gmc, buick dealership and i use it everyday all day and i beat the piss out of it. Ive been fairly happy with mine and what it does for the price and availability. Ive used both the earthquake and snapoff simultaneously and the only differences i can tell when working is breaking torque, weight and length.
Torque.. thanks for pointing it out right off the bat man. Got so tired of watching reviews on these and people acting like these things are impact wrenches. I have this one, although mine doesn't have the black finish. Been using it for about year now. Love it. Could be a bit faster for sure. But it's excellent for a home gamer like myself. Switch lever definitely isn't the best, but not the worst thing in the world.
I sincerely hope so. If for no other reason than to see if he can, then if it still works he could use the grinder to polish out the knurled area, and give us a report on the longevity of the thing. Also, I think the "just bend it back" would work. Man, where is your faith?
Ave your BOLTR vijayoes are my favorite think to watch on youtube! Thanks for getting back to them I always get a laugh and love seeing the quality or lack of from the different tool brands!
My 3/8 Fuel has been tough as nails. I’ve dropped it off the top of Haas machines a bunch and had the battery fly off into low earth orbit. It’s still chooching along two years later.
If your starting fresh keep alook out for milwaukee m12 brushed kits. You can find 5 tool sets with the ratchet for under 200 sometimes. You'll find the same kit on sale for 3 or 400 tho so it's a waiting game for the right time to buy.

We have 8 tech using the milwaukee one for 24 hours a day and never failed
my milwaukee has been kinda fucky lately, halfway through taking a fastener out it'll somehow turn the switch to in between on/off and it only spins the internal mechanism
@@AWJFunk With most brand, it's the electronics that fails and when you try to buy the part, they only sell you the motor assembly that comes with the motor, switch, circuit board and connectors. It ends up costing 75% of a new tool even if you do it yourself.
New series idea got ya. BOLTR RATROD! Buying new "inexpensive" tools, the machining new AvE grade parts from quality materials. "Overclocking Harbor Freight"
The non fuel Milwaukee is perfect for me! I have tons of bigger rachets and breaker bars for loosening and tightening but this guy Is a time saver and fits were regular ratchet fits
Snow Mexican 😂. I can always count on you to enrich my vocabulary. Keep up the amazing work buddy
"What do you tell a camera with two black eyes?"... bruh
You don't tell it nothin', cuz it's already been told twice.
Have used all of these cordless ratchets. I use a cordless ratchet at least four days a week through out the my day. I bought the EQ XT as a lark, fully expecting to return it when it failed to chooch. However, having my son borrow my Milwaukee without noticing, I found myself onsite with only the EQ XT which I did charge, but had just been carrying it around. I was a little annoyed at the thought of turning a wrench all day again.....but that's how we started, so I soldiered on.
My exact words were "HOLY SH*t!!!" I was impressed with the damn thing more than the MigMax 220 and Protig Vulcan's which also surprised me. I LOVE this damn thing and I wanted to comment on the statement that the user places all the torque through leverage into the wrenching action, the EQ XT doesn't twist (minimal moment of force is fed back to the user). Instead it strikes like a small impact with a decent anvil. No idea how they get that amount of repetitive impact mechanically (unable to disassemble to see how) but I swear that if you could create an ideal experiment where moment arm is identical, acknowledging you get a mechanical advantage with all three, but I would guarantee the moment of force, and over all energy input into the action, is noticeably less using the EQ XT. I use this thing everyday now.
Downside, yeah I get annoyed when I set it down on the trigger and it is the singular tool I have that uses its own battery. If it hadn't genuinely impressed me it was going back to the store because I have 22 Hitachi 18V 3Ah batteries and since Metabo/HPT have decided to reduced the variety of tools available in my market, I have been slowly moving to Makita tools and have about 10 batteries. Yes I HATE having a battery for just this one tool, but after using it, contrary to my own expectation, I decided it was worth the hassle.
I too was pleasantly surprised. Never thought a Harbor Freight power tool would be one of my favorite and most used tools, but here we are...
Dude is way smarter than i expected...
If you intend to use a pipe wrench torque multiplier on your drain pan bolts, definitely go with the Earthquake. I'm amazed that aluminum body didn't crumble doing that. The other ratchets would have disintegrated.
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of intentional malapropisms like “casement” for casing...
I have never been so entertained watching tool reviews
I bought one of those earthquake ratchets to give it a try and I use it every day and I have had it for over a year and it works just fine. The only complaint is like you said about the plastic body is starting to flex at the battery if you pull on it low near the battery.
"snow mexican" about made me spit my coffee everywhere. bravo
I've been using the Earthquake XT ratchet at work everyday for about a year and I am extremely happy with it. I've got 2 batteries so charge time doesn't matter. 1 battery usually lasts all day no problem.
The battery life on the Earthquake was by far the most impressive part of the tool to me.
How you opened the ratchets box alone made me instant subscribe
Finally back to the old AVE format!!!!
“Summer teeth” hahaha
"We'll just avoid that all together." Grabs handle to flip over...
Product packaging that has been opened by AvE should be considered fine art and on display at a museum.
I had never heard of polygon turning. I immediately went and looked it up. Dang that’s a cool process.
Oh boy, AvE is live, reading and replying to comments on his video that just went public. I, no doubt, shall be graced by his gaze upon my comment.
It's almost like it's my very own youtube channel. Weird, I know.
6:10 Actually havin it be a tight fit to change the direction of the ratchet is helpful, when you’re in tight spots, it keeps ya from accidentally changing direction of the ratchet by hitting it on something
was thinking the same thing. the m12 gets in tight spots too.
Been running a 1/4 inch snap on ratchet for over 3 years now. Havent had a single issue with it. Never sent it in. Works like it did since day 1. I use mine every day. Even had the thing drenched in water from snow covered cars and the thing still works great. I have heard of people breaking the male end you click your socket onto in the 3/8's drive. but the 1/4 inch gets the job done and was worth every penny.
Yours are the ONLY unboxing videos that I'll watch.
I watch these more for the random phrases than anything else.
I have been using the small milfuckie for 2 years in a shop, i love it. I have the fuel one also it comes out 10% of the time. The snapon is just a joke when it comes to price here in australia. 5 times the price of the milfuckie
Sadly, that joke is not Isolated to Australia.
I love/hate my snap on one. It’s a bloody ripper but after using the tool for 1.5 years I’ve had it rebuilt 3 times, yeah sure I use it every day working on trucks and it sees a lot of hard work. I kinda need reliable tools and after paying like $650ish for it I thought snapon would of covered more then 1yr warranty so I’m looking at the Milwaukee one now. It’s just a shame because when it’s not broken it’s a really good tool. Working on cars or lighter duty stuff this tool would be the pinnacle of every job. Plus don’t forget to grease it every morning.
I have the 1/4" and 3/8" in the first gen snap-on. I've had them for several years, bought them when they first came out. I've never had any trouble with them, and I use them daily. I know the Milwaukee and harbor freight guys are going to say I got ripped off, I over paid, and the other tools are better etc, but you get a lot more than just the tool with snap-on, you get real customer service. I think that's worth the extra expense.
You ever try "focus please"?
Ha, they ran a Taco Hell ad in front.
Always solid honest well researched advice based on fact and expertise. Never trust HF customer reviews they only post customer reviews they want to post, I know this from experience.
I used to work with a millwright. He was an old timer and had a good saying to people that were caught in the brand war arguments regarding tools; "It's not the tool that gets the job done it's the mechanic." That old guy could probably fix a broken rocker arm in an engine with a butter knife.
Haha I love your videos man. "summer teeth" had me dying at work
"Sears' Catalog," you're showing your age! Besides that, it was the J.C. Penny's Catalog.
apparently I am the exact same age as my uncle
The spring Sears catalogue had a bigger lingerie section than the Winter, if I remember correctly.
@@markgigiel2722 you know exactly why we all know these things.
yep haha
National Geographic come on! Love those pigmies.
I work at a Chevrolet dealership. One of the guys has had 4 harbor freight ratchets in 2 years. The Milwaukee 3/8" fuel I have had for about 6 months and I love it. That said it is hard to get into tight spots but it has a longer run time than the Earthquake and it charges faster. I liked the Milwaukee enough that I also bought the 1/4" fuel and I don't regret it. As far as the Snap On goes, I will never know because I refuse to pay $450+ for a ratchet, 1 battery and a charger.
I have the Earthquake ratchet and did a video review on it. Max tightening torque was 30 lb.ft in my research. It has worked well for me so far and the battery does last a pretty decent time before recharging.
looks like like the acdelco ! That new delco cordless impact looks pretty decent I would love to see you take a crack at that one ☝️
I wish he’d tear apart the AC Delco ratchet to see if there is any difference at all. I have an old AC Delco 1/2” impact that has been beat on for years and still works as well as it did on day one. It keeps up fairly well with my IR 231 Pneumatics. Now I wonder if the Earthquake Impact might be a copy of my old impact...
"I bet that half a cars a trick to drive"
The hazard farts most feared canuck! Ole AVE sets um straight .
I am more envious of your box opener every time it appears in a video.
"Who's up for some sodomy?" And i can hear my self: "I am..." Then i hear my brains go: "Wait what?" "Rule number one: Uncle is bit weird. Do not answer his questions even in internet."
Sodomy
You must think it very odd of me
But I enjoy the act of sodomy
You might call the wrath of God on me
But if you tried it then you might agree
That you enjoy the act of sodomy
Don't worry if you feel ashamed
It's been around for years
Thousands more than can be named
Are interested in rears
Don't worry about hell
No harm will come to your soul
We're not all Pentecostal
But everybody's got an asshole
Let me tell ya 'bout sodomy
You must think it very odd of me
But I enjoy the act of sodomy
You might call the wrath of God on me
But if you tried it then you might agree
That you enjoy the act of sodomy
It might just improve your sex
It's a hard act to follow
The fact that fundamentalists
Find difficult to swallow
So join me as I sing
Of an activity that's fun
Open up your ring
And try it front to bum
Bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bu m-bum
The guy who wrote that song made Lord of the Rings.
I've missed the tiny saw
I bought one and use it daily at work. Im a main tech at a cadillac, gmc, buick dealership and i use it everyday all day and i beat the piss out of it. Ive been fairly happy with mine and what it does for the price and availability. Ive used both the earthquake and snapoff simultaneously and the only differences i can tell when working is breaking torque, weight and length.
I use the Milwaukee ratchets almost daily, so far they have been very reliable no issues at all.
I just bought the new Milwaukee FUEL Extended Reach Ratchet.
I bought a VonHaus ratchet that's supposed to be a clone of the Milwaukee.
I'd love to see a comparison between the two.
I love the random Corb Lund quotes!!!
Torque.. thanks for pointing it out right off the bat man. Got so tired of watching reviews on these and people acting like these things are impact wrenches.
I have this one, although mine doesn't have the black finish. Been using it for about year now. Love it. Could be a bit faster for sure. But it's excellent for a home gamer like myself. Switch lever definitely isn't the best, but not the worst thing in the world.
Damn, that casement held up pretty damn well to your wrenching! Are you going to try to put it back together?
Pretty sure the fork got kinked over while being torqued on in the vice - and "just bend it back" isn't going to get those tolerances back in line
I sincerely hope so. If for no other reason than to see if he can, then if it still works he could use the grinder to polish out the knurled area, and give us a report on the longevity of the thing. Also, I think the "just bend it back" would work. Man, where is your faith?
Sacrificed for our enjoyment

Ave your BOLTR vijayoes are my favorite think to watch on youtube! Thanks for getting back to them I always get a laugh and love seeing the quality or lack of from the different tool brands!
My 3/8 Fuel has been tough as nails. I’ve dropped it off the top of Haas machines a bunch and had the battery fly off into low earth orbit. It’s still chooching along two years later.
Cant wait for dewalt to come out with an electric ratchet
Jake Duncan they do. It’s labeled under MAC tools
Synchronized cardinal grammeters!
If your starting fresh keep alook out for milwaukee m12 brushed kits. You can find 5 tool sets with the ratchet for under 200 sometimes. You'll find the same kit on sale for 3 or 400 tho so it's a waiting game for the right time to buy.
